Republicans in Washington want to give millionaires and billionaires an average tax break of at least $150,000. They want to pay for those tax cuts by slashing programs that create jobs and protect our children, our seniors, and the veterans who have fought for the country. They want to end Medicare as we know it. And they want to undercut our economic strength by rolling back key investments in education, research, and our nation's roads and bridges.

...To show you what we mean, we've put together an infographic that breaks out the kinds of priorities we'd have to give up for the $150,000 tax break that Republicans want to give to the nation's millionaires and billionaires.

The more people who share it, the more folks will understand what's at stake and how we can do better for the middle class.

No, you want to end medicare! The Republicans are all over this meme, that as I recall, was ours first. "Whatever the Democrats accuse us of is what they are doing." Here's more evidence that the flipside, our side, of that meme is true. "Keep your government hands off my medicare" was a popular teabagger sign... do you think one of these people get it now? I don't. Pity, that.
